Responsible Gaming

Gambling should be a form of entertainment, not a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Always play responsibly and within your means. If gambling stops being fun, seek help immediately.

Age Verification

You must be 18 years of age or older (or the legal gambling age in your Canadian province or territory) to gamble online. Underage gambling is illegal and strictly prohibited. We encourage parents to use parental control software to prevent access to gambling websites.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you or someone you know answers “yes” to any of the following, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses — returning to try to win back money you have lost.
• Hiding gambling activity from family or friends.
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended.
• Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling.
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble.
• Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut down or stop.
• Lying about gambling habits or winnings.
• Gambling to escape from stress, anxiety, or depression.

Self-Help Tools

Most reputable online casinos offer tools to help you stay in control. Use them proactively:

• Deposit Limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit.
• Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose over a set period.
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders showing how long you have been playing.
• Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently block access to your gambling account.
• Cooling-Off Periods: Take a short break from gambling (e.g., 24 hours to 6 weeks).
